what fun...

so I've learned a few things in my long posting absence. Number one being the fact that I can't type the correct words and I look like an atrocious speller. *sigh*

Number two is... ummm... I forgot already.

Well, I do have good news, though. Nick and I were FINALLY able to sign the papers on the house -- loan was approved, everything just needs to be finalized so that's being done now.

House is really great - Ten acres, lots of fruit trees, a big old country house. Everything I've always wanted in a house. And... the best part is, its not a fixer-upper, like most of the houses I've grown up in. :)
Life is good. It's not cool when your house is so old and dilapidated that people actually ask you if your house is really haunted...

I said yes once. The little snot nosed brat's mom called my mom, and I got in trouble for trying to scare the neighbor kids.

I should have told him that the ghosts at my house did terrible things to tattletales...

But alas, this is about mine and Nick's house. I've got all the colors picked out, and am really excited over all the plans I have for decorating. It's not too girly, either, so I think Nick will like it, too. :)

Other than that, I've been dead tired, trying to get everything done, and working both jobs. Not getting as many hours as I'd like at new job, actually -- but they have me only working a few hours each day, so I haven't really had any days off. Got brave enough to tell my boss that I REALLY needed more hours, that coming in for two hours a day was basically a waste of gas (since I have about 25 miles one way to go). I got the old "we're doing what we can, stick with us," speech... but I've been getting that for a month now. He says this as he's hiring three people. *sigh*

Since I'm so tired, and constantly seem to be running, it sure would be nice to have the money to show for it. :P However, don't worry, I didn't say that to him -- I'm not that cheeky. :P

For those of you that I'd mentioned it too, my cousin Jessica just had her surgury today, and is in critical care, but her surgury was successful it sounds like, so that's good. Please keep her in your prayers though.

Well, I"m done with work in about an hour and a half, then I'm going home and crashing into bed. It's been a very long day.
